Weekend Update
Quite a few of us woke up to the sound of thunder early this morning as a line of strong to severe thunderstorms ripped across
South Louisiana
. This squall line was set off by a cold front. Temperatures didn’t fall much behind this front, but it did bring down our humidity. That will translate in seasonably warm afternoons and cooler nights over the next couple of days. High pressure will also be a dominant weather feature over the next few days. Temperatures will drop off into the mid to upper 50s tonight and tomorrow night. Meanwhile highs will rebound into the low to mid 80s tomorrow and Monday.
